My Dear Prospanica Family,
I want to dedicate this newsletter to our network of university partners, Prospanica chapter leadership and members, our Corporate Advisory Board, National Board of Directors, Sponsors, Donors, Lifetime Members and collaborators who have been instrumental in helping us fulfill our mission to empower Hispanic business professionals to achieve their full educational, economic and social potential. I’m so thankful for your support and all the resources you put into the organization so that we can have a tangible and positive impact on our growing community of Hispanic students, professionals and business owners. We couldn’t do the work we do without you.
And as we start getting ready for Thanksgiving Day, I ask you to continue helping Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands devastated by Hurricane Maria. Their recovery is a marathon, and they will need everyone’s long-term support to overcome this crisis. Together, we can make a difference. Here are some ways you can help:
1. The Hispanic Federation (hispanicfederation.org) is designating 100 percent of its Hurricane Relief Fund to recovery efforts in Puerto Rico. To donate via text, compose a new text message for number 41444. Type UNIDOS (space) YOUR AMOUNT (space) and YOUR NAME. (For example: Unidos 100 John Doe). Then press "Send" and click on the link to complete your donation. To donate in person, visit any Popular Community Bank branch (account name: Hurricane Relief Effort; checking account number: 6810893500).
2. Hispanics in Philanthropy, aka HIP (hiponline.org), will provide funds to the Puerto Rico Community Foundation, a longstanding Puerto Rico-based 501c(3) that works closely with nonprofits throughout the island. HIP will not charge an administrative fee to transfer the funds, and all U.S. donations are tax deductible. You can make a donation to HIP’s Hurricane Relief Fund by visiting https://hipgive.org/project/hurricane-relief-fund/
Thank you for your support, and Happy Thanksgiving!
